Electronics recycling

The Haley Pike Waste Management Facility, the Lexington Recycle Center and the Electronics Recycle Center will be closed on Saturday, Nov. 9 and Monday, Nov. 11. 

The city’s Electronics Recycling Center is located in a building near the back of the property.

To drop off electronics, follow signs that lead you to pull into the building's drive through. Stop in the drive-through and an employee will assist you in unloading your items. 

The Electronics Recycling Center accepts residential electronic waste Monday through Saturday. The Center does not accept items from businesses, including home businesses or nonprofit organizations such as churches and schools. This service is for Fayette County residents only.
